MH heat

[sammyfish]

Hi

I'm thinking about lighting for a reef tank. I've see a lot of posts referring to metal halide lighting and ballasts and heat.

This may sound silly but I can't figure it out.

When talking about less heat when using an Icecap electronic ballast, do you mean that there is less heat coming off the ballast itself, or that the bulbs produce less heat.

Thanks,
Sammy

Less heat off the ballast, they run cooler.
